I've been around a lot of martial arts. Jiu Jitsu is good to take some tips from, but 85% of fights happening on the ground is only true for prison officers and police. For the general public, this is a myth. How many times have you seen a bar fight go to the ground? Maybe once, but certainly no more than twice. Your school play ground theory, these days, most play ground fights are broken up by the time the punching starts. In Karate (shotokan karate anyway) one thing we are taught is to disengage your attacker, and create distance, BEFORE we are taken to the ground. Karate does go into what to do if you end up on the ground in the later grades, and it even includes throws that are pretty much the same as jiu jitsu and judo throws. So you're wrong dis Karate.
There is so much wrong here it hurts. 1. A huge margin of self defense situations in real life involves more than one attacker. In which case jiujitsu is absolutely hopeless. 2. Stats show that while grappling is great for self defense- as soon as a knife is involved grappling has much less chances of survival than striking, using improvised weapons or running away. It only had a better survival rating than giving up and begging for mercy. Not a great look. 3. While fights end on the ground- they start standing. If you don't know how to strike or defend yourself while standing- you are pretty useless. 4. Distance control you gain from training boxing, kickboxing, karate or taekwondo is extremely important in self defense. They also improve your sense of balance immensely, and landing on the ground while your opponent is still standing is close to game over on the street. Stomps and football kicks from people wearing shoes can be absolutely devastating. 5. moron knows nothing about boxing. Weight classes in striking are a factor, true, but skills are a massive equalizer. You don't need much power to knockout the other person. If their jaws is exposed and they don't know how to punch well- you can knock them out in few seconds, just step in carefully. Even few months of boxing can improve your self defense skills tenfold against an unskilled person. 6. I like how these clowns wear a gi and talk how great jiujitsu is in self defense- if you train no gi then sure, it will work. In reality a ton of techniques won't work if you only do gi grappling. 7. Oh ok he's a major in philosophy. He's a self admitted fucking idiot. "Why Kids should learn karate or tae kwon do and not jiu jitsu" the comment: Sign your kids for karate or taekwondo. They will learn respect, discipline, get great cardio, work on their flexibility, learn some striking in an environment without many injuries. Kata will give them great grounding, coordination, strong antagonist muscles. Some light sparring will improve their distance control and delivery system for techniques. When they get good at that you can sign them for some grappling. Judo is great since they're gonna work on breakfalls and being relaxed while in grappling, throws are amazing for self defense too. Wrestling also is fine as long as it's safe, so catch wrestling might be a bit too much at first. You can skip BJJ. They likely won't learn much respect there, and both wrestling and judo have enough ground grappling for the kids to be safe against untrained attackers. And there likely won't be any trained attackers in real life, since trained people don't walk around bullying others. When your kids grow older and want to learn how to fight more properly you can sign them up for boxing, kickboxing, muay thai, mma full contact karate and catch wrestling. You can add some bjj but with good judo skills with MMA training on top of it they will have enough grappling experience to be ok fighters without BJJ.
I like how he said we're gonna learn the muay thai and made that distinction between the other steiking arts. Why? Because it, like bjj, it is one of the proven striking arts.
I personally think Judo is more effective in more situations than jiu jutsu because you can throw people without having to go to the ground (which can be a very dangerous place to be against multiple opponents) and you still learn basic groundwork anyway
Yeah. Sure. Karate and taekwondo are lazy in face of jujutstu fighter. BUT only 1X1. In a real situation, a fight on the street agains more than 2, JJ is weak. No matter how much you desagree with me. JJ depends on the fact that he were created for a singular situation. Or you will ask for your opponents to stand asside while you finish then one by one? Seriously. What kind of shit you have in your head? Against bulling, karate and taekwondo are far wall better than JJ to give the boy strengh and confidence. Accept and go cry under the bed in front of the reality of the facts. JJ only works on the MMA. Game over
If a cop stops you randomly and plucks a Eagle revolver onto your temple…. We’ll you had 3.5 seconds to drive off like the other teen. We’re not taught to dynamically pick one or other. Who cares someone has your back.
What the first thing ignorant people don’t understand there are lethal JJ moves, death moves, things never should be taught. 😊😊 oh well, it is what it is.
Brazilian Jiujitsu is important but not at all complete. If there are two people attacking you and you go to the ground, what do you do? The important thing is to never go to the ground, for that you learn Taekwondo, karate, Krav Maga, Japanese Jiujitsu, etc... Of course if you end up on the ground JJB is fantastic, but in the street I would never go to the ground to fight if I could choose.
